makes vague references on their LiveJournal about "a close friend" saying "something" that was "hurtful / mean / totally BS !!1!1" about a person, but will not name the person because they are a pussy coward who simply wants attention;
sends you an email saying that your enemy / boyfriend / girlfriend / best friend said something horrible about you to your enemy / boyfriend / girlfriend / best friend about your eating disorder / furry tendencies / fat ass / l4ck of sk1llz / utter sluttiness;
posts a picture of themselves and doesn't get the fawning adoration they were seeking in the first place;
incessantly vandalizes an entry on Encyclopedia Dramatica, thereby prompting a WikiWar;
gets defriended from another person's LiveJournal;
Creates websites that are intended to make someone look bad
gets into an argument on a message board over nothing more than semantics; and / or,
sleeps around in their online community and then talks about it incessantly for the next few years.
